It identifies what is known in each area and what research and observations are required to reduce the uncertainties in our understanding of sea-level rise so that more reliable future projections can be made. A synthesis of findings provides a concise summary of past, present and future sea-level rise and its impSea levelOceanographySea level.Oceanography.551.45/8Church John1951-1761064MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910876603103321Understanding sea-level rise and variability4200257UNINA
